J Peterman 1946 Dress:

Color: Green plaid
100% cotton, V-neck bodice; darts at bust and waist.
Notched collar; short sleeves, self belt.

This is one of my very favorite Peterman designs. I have it in a red buffalo plaid flannel and wore the hell out of it all winter. I have it in the three quarter sleeve, all black poplin, and if I ever got off my lazy ass to replace the missing button, I’d wear the hell out of it, too. For the summer, I bought it in this great turquoise and lime green oversized plaid. I cannot get my arms through the sleeves, but then, I have giant Conan-type arms (only, you know, without the muscle tone). Regardless, I can’t wear this dress and it pains me, but it has to leave the closet, now.

Cynthia Rowley Vintage Dress:

A button front black and white checkered dress. That’s what the RLA sees. It’s a Cynthia Rowley, retro-inspired shirtwaist dress, with real mother-of-pearl buttons, and a huge full skirt that really benefits from the addition of a crinoline. I don’t have one to sell you, but if you love the rock-a-billy silhouette, then you probably own one anyway. In complete disclosure, the elastic at the waist needs to be replaced.

My Dog Can Do That game for all Dogs & Humans:

Inside there is a 30 page training manual. The fun begins when you select a trick card such as: Doorbell Dash Mexican Hat Dance Synchronized Walking or any of the 72 tricks included. Then you have 30 seconds to get your dog to do the trick. If you like to play with your dog and you can think on your feet, you will have a ball. Play with the family dog or challenge your friends and their dogs to a match. This game is no longer in print. It has been opened but is in excellent condition and includes all game gards, tokens, dice and timer.

Vintage Books

My books. The Renowned Local Artist's books. My parents' books, and his parents' books. Books that other people dumped into our library. Books that have traveled more than some people I know. Text books, referrence books, art books, style books, how-to books, vintage books, fiction and non-fiction, paper back, hard back, trade publications. Books: old, new, hard bound, soft bound, falling apart or mint. The contents of at least four family libraries have come to rest in our possession, and we just don't have the room or the money to keep them in storage.
